Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. QR Code Reader ® sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QR Code Reader ® holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader ® has 14K ratings behind it against 293, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of QR Code Reader ®'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code Reader ® ships an update every 4 weeks, Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
